Controversial singer Portable has bitterly complained of being robbed after suffering a clear defeat to comedian Carter Efe in their much-hyped celebrity boxing match.

The fight marked Portable’s first loss in the celebrity boxing ring, ending his previous unbeaten run.

In a post-fight Instagram story and live session, a visibly frustrated Portable accused the organisers and judges of failing to properly score his punches. He further claimed Carter Efe fought unfairly, using his height and reach advantage.
“I was robbed! Carter Efe was wrestling while I was throwing punches. He was strangling with his long hands and height. I threw him many punches, why didn’t they count?”
The singer argued that the contest was not professional and that the outcome did not reflect what happened inside the ring. Despite the loss, Portable’s passionate reaction has kept the conversation alive, with many piling on Portable for losing despite all his earlier claims.
Carter Efe, on the other hand, celebrated his victory, earning praise for his composure and boxing display against a more experienced opponent in street fights.
The celebrity boxing event continues to generate buzz as part of the growing popularity of such spectacles in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where personalities settle rivalries or entertain fans in the ring.
Portable’s defeat and subsequent complaints have added drama to the narrative, with supporters urging him to focus on his music career while others call for a potential rematch.
